And not for any bad reasons either! The price was quite reasonable, and the plumber already had the parts on his truck, he could get them and start immediately!

In what seemed like no time at all, Raymond was pressing the toilet buttons and watching as they stopped running after the flush cycle finished. They hadn’t done that for months! All gratitude, Raymond thanked the plumber, before asking if he could check a couple of annoying dripping taps, since the Plumber was already here …
